SHONGALOO, La. -- Two people have drowned while fishing, Webster Parish Sheriff Jason Parker said.

Release of the victims' identities is pending notification of family.

The bodies were recovered Sunday morning near a boat ramp on Bayou Dorcheat.

Their deaths appear to be a "tragic incident while fishing," Parker said.

The Springhill Fire Department and its dive team assisted the Cotton Valley Fire Department and Webster Parish Sheriff's Office in the recovery of the two people.
